Going Home!

Off to Fiji in a few days.  A holiday with family and friends.  Not going anywhere and not traveling much because we're landing in Nadi and going straight out to the island for a couple of weeks.

But still it's going to be very special being home even if just for a little while. I did hope Keith would join me, but the poor honey has to work.

Or so he says!

Initially this holiday plan started out as an attempt to drag Keith off to see dad's land in the deepest, darkest back-of-beyond in Vanua Levu so he can decide if this is where he wants to build his retirement home and live out his days living off the land and "off-the-grid".  He's always claimed this is what he wants us to do, the old hippy, however he wily-ly slipped out from under with this cry of "Have to earn our living!"

I confess I have to laugh because this too was mum and dad's retirement plan except that when the time came to go, mum entirely baulked, sunk in her heels and refused entirely.  She said that living alone in the wilderness with only dad for company meant that there would very soon be an unmarked grave in that beach-lined jungle.

Anyway, after the Fiji jaunt, I'm flying to Sydney to meet Keith and doing several days there before traveling to Cairns where we are hoping to meet Baby Jane and have a bit of fun for several days before traveling down to Townsville where we'll be oiling our veranda decks as we do each year.

So if you don't hear from me, you'll know what I'm up to.  I do hope I can blog the trip, but not sure about the computer situation.  Nonetheless, I will give you the best stories of what happens.

Have a great time, folks, in the interim.
